thx, joe. we have a nice bunch over here. if a few more folks appear, i am sure we can absorb them. but hopefully not too many as managing a large group is hard!!
the difficult think is dealing with disagreements. i've no problem with disagreement in itself. but the folks that walk in the door with someone else's talking points and an attitude are folks that i always walk right out again. they spoil the environment for everyone.
i suspect the folks that don't get it never will. but i have as much right to freedom from obnoxiousness as another person does to be obnoxious. that applies to speech as much as it does to anything.
stars, as we all know, are often an expression of obnoxiousness. but they are not within my control. so these starfolks must express themselves as they are, without hindrance and the mirror from which they might benefit.
